adduser 3.121ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu
Changelog
adduser (3.121ubuntu1) kinetic; urgency=medium
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
- AdduserCommon.pm, adduser, adduser.8, adduser.conf.5: Allow uppercase
letters in the names of system users. This is done by having a separate
NAME_REGEX_SYSTEM configuration setting which applies when --system is
specified. (Soren Hansen)
- Add support for encrypting home directories:
+ adduser: Add --encrypt-home option, which calls ecryptfs-setup-private
for the hard work.
+ doc/adduser.8: document the --encrypt-home option
+ debian/control: suggest ecryptfs-utils >= 67-1
+ deluser: remove all of /var/lib/ecryptfs/$user with --remove-home
- extrausers support for adduser and gpasswd.
- Add support for ZFS home directories (LP: #1873263)
- Enable private home directories by default (LP: #48734)
+ Set DIR_MODE=0750 in the default adduser.conf
+ Change the description and default value to select private home
directories by default in debconf template
+ Change the DIR_MODE when private home directories is configured via
debconf from 0751 to 0750 to ensure files are truly private

Binary packages built by this source
- adduser: add and remove users and groups
This package includes the 'adduser' and 'deluser' commands for creating
and removing users.
.
- 'adduser' creates new users and groups and adds existing users to
existing groups;
- 'deluser' removes users and groups and removes users from a given
group.
.
Adding users with 'adduser' is much easier than adding them manually.
Adduser will choose appropriate UID and GID values, create a home
directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and automate setting
initial values for the user's password, real name and so on.
.
Deluser can back up and remove users' home directories
and mail spool or all the files they own on the system.
.
A custom script can be executed after each of the commands.
